"Legacy system anthem"
By gusse^digisonix
Made in MilkyTracker 2013
24 Channels


Since I started playing around in trackers again a few years back I have generally tended to pick up old unfinished tunes from my archives and tried to finalize them. 

This is not one of those old tunes, this is a brand spanking new one made from scratch 2013. I came up with the bass and drum groove and everything else is built around that riff. It all fell into place easier than usual and all in all it was a very fun tracker exercise.
 

The last couple of songs I have been working with have all been smaller 4 channel tunes with many restrictions. So when this tune got going I instantly felt it would be fun to leave the restrictions out of the picture this time and just go for it. I have used sampled and in som cases processed c64 sounds as well as my own hand drawn waveforms.

 
I had two big influences making this tune and if you like my tune you might want to look them up:

Chris Huelsbeck –  ”The Wall” & ”Mr Walker and his factory” from the Turrican 2 soundtrack (Amiga).  My favorite game soundtrack of all time, I love those big synthrock themes!

Mitch & Dane – I love all their groovy pop stuff on the c64, ”Bitchbass” might be the most obvious influence on this particular tune.

This tune was finished and released August 25th - Birthday dedication to my dear friend Fredrik Klingwall: I know you are not the biggest fan of this sort of chip music but now you have a tune dedicated to you anyway... Deal with it!! ;-)

LEGACY SYSTEM ANTHEM

I make music! I'm not sure how though, it keeps showing up on my computer without my involvement. I think I'm haunted.

Sup. I suppose you're on my soundcloud page now. I am currently using this page to find the best chiptunes by artists that are not as well known as I think they should be. As for my own chiptunes...   Let's just say they're a work in progress. 

PS. The characters in the header are some pixel art of characters I draw.

I love music, math, and science. I started writing music in 1998 with MODPlug Tracker. I write mostly code nowadays, but love to listen (and improvise over) new and classic tunes. I also have started mixing tunes in DJay Pro and sometimes stream this (and Fallout76) on my twitch channel.


I use SoundCloud to discover new music and follow my favorite artists.  Any recordings are unlikely to be finished or built upon, so I'd love to hear you remix/finish my tunes :p

Love photoshopping playlist covers just ask
